“We are 5 days away from Fundamentally transforming the United States of America.” “Change is coming to America.” “The Constitution is a document of negative liberties; what the government can’t do to Americans, but it never goes into what the government should do on behalf of Americans.” “I will not have special interest groups in my administration.” Anyone with honesty will have to say “you lie!” Mr. President. If we Americans compare what our President actually says compared to what he does, can there be a better definition than fascist? I wish to define a word, Fascism;“A form of political behavior marked by obsessive preoccupation with community decline, humiliation or victimhood and by compensatory cults of unity, energy and purity, in which a mass_based party of committed nationalist militants, working in uneasy but effective collaboration with traditional elites, abandons democratic liberties and pursues with redemptive violence and without ethical or legal restraints goals of internal cleansing and external expansion.” [Robert O. Paxton, “The Anatomy of Fascism,” 2004]
However there is something good that has come as a result of this President. I know that many of you will read this only because you think I will join in the Obama bashing club! Some of you may think that I have lost my mind and have drank the Progressive and Marxist cool aid! How many of you have found yourself praying more diligently for America? How many Americans do you know that are actually waking up from their slumber? How many do you know that used to never vote for or against anyone but now see that instead of complaining about policies from politicians they are actively voting for people who reflect their own principles and values? Our Nation has become Morally bankrupt. Largely because people look to men to solve their problems instead of God. As a result of a Nation of baby killers and Sodomites, we may be seeing God use Fascism to humble Americans who never get involved in our leaders who set themselves up as god. Idolatry is run amuck in our Nation and God wants us to repent! Compare Israel of the past with America of today. (2Chronicles 36 and Daniel 1) God in a nutshell sent Israel into captivity because of their idolatry and evil leaders. Israel did repent after the discipline of the Lord their God, but only after 70 years in Babylon. Maybe just maybe America is better than Israel. Is this your thinking? Think again! It is my sincere prayer that God’s people in this country will say thank you God for Obama, we have seen the errors of our ways and are repenting of our political Idolatry! May all who call themselves Christian take the attitude of Daniel. Listen to our Bible; “1Timothy 2:1 I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone–
2 for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.
3 This is good, and pleases God our Savior,
4 who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.
5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,
6 who gave himself as a ransom for all men– the testimony given in its proper time. 7 And for this purpose I was appointed a herald and an apostle– I am telling the truth, I am not lying– and a teacher of the true faith to the Gentiles.
8 I want men everywhere to lift up holy hands in prayer, without anger or disputing.
I know this is an opinion of the Bible and it is hard to obey. But I am convinced that God is in control of our destiny!!!

Love the sinner, hate the sin!
Posted in Inspiration, tagged bible, blood of Jesus, christ, Christianity, Faith, Holiness, jesus, religion on January 25, 2010| Leave a Comment »
Love the sinner, hate the sin, is not found in the Holy Text of the Bible! However the principle is most assuredly forth right. “1John 3:6-9 No one who lives in him (Jesus) keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him. Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray. He who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous. He who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work. No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God’s seed remains in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God.” If we who follow Jesus in thought, word and deed, we must despise and reject everything that is sinful and evil! At the same time we are to love the person who is sinful. As the Holy text has just said the Son of God has appeared to destroy the devil’s work, which is everything that is evil! Everyone has sinned. Everyone has the stain of sin in their lives. Everyone has a need for Redemption and forgiveness of sins. That is why Jesus came and died on the Cross. If Jesus loved men and their sins, then why did He have to die? Jesus love’s those who committed sin but died to Atone for them to wash away their sin, that men may be declared righteous in God’s eye! A lady recently argued with me concerning the statement, “love the sinner but hate the sin.” She says Christians are taught to hate. Homosexuals, drunks, liar’s, blasphemers…are all to be hated by Christians. She was somewhat confused about this concept so I explained it this way; If you love someone and they told you a lie, do you love that lie they told? No. But you still love the person, don’t you? Yes she said. So it is with our Creator! He loves all whom He Created but hates the sin and therefore sent His only Begotten Son, Jesus, to die to pay the debt for our sins. Love the sinner but hate the sin is indeed the message of Christianity! A quote from an old time preacher “I have no hope beneath the canopy of heaven, neither in time nor in eternity, save only in this belief-that Jesus Christ, in my place, bore both my punishment and sin. There may be some sins of which a man cannot speak, but there is no sin which the blood of Christ cannot wash away.” -Spurgeon
Are you Washed?

Help for Haiti!

I am not and will not give a long speech on how it is more blessed to give than receive. I am not going to try and guilt you into giving money. Neither is Christ honoring. I will simply give you an opportunity and avenue to help where you can.
We have 3 churches in Haiti and they could use whatever help the Lord places on your heart! The Pastor would be able to purchase supplies at Cap Haitian for families in need. You may send a gift to Southern Methodist Ministries earmarked Haiti Assistance at 541 Broughton St., Orangeburg, SC 29115. Thanks!
